In the entertainment industry, whether it is Chinese or foreign, you can never escape the word 'favor'.

Tian Jinghua's please really surprised Nie Wei, but he can understand it, just like what Tian Jinghua said, he owes the other party's father a favor, and now he repays it to his son, which is a normal thing, in the entertainment industry, this kind of thing abounds, and many second-generation stars can debut from a very high starting point through the favor accumulated by their parents.

And when Nie Wei didn't feel annoying, Tian Jinghua's request was actually very measured.

Now except for those singer-songwriters, the audience basically doesn't even pay much attention to lyrics and composition, let alone arrangers.

But don't underestimate this matter, if it is an arrangement for an ordinary singer, then it is nothing, but this arrangement is for the songs of top stars like Nie Wei, it is not simple, not to mention that Nie Wei is about to take the song on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

There must be no repercussions on the public's side, but in the circle, it is equivalent to gilding the person himself.

It's no wonder that a big director like Tian Jinghua will be used to ask Nie Wei, probably just to show sincerity, after all, it is reasonable to exchange the favor of a Spring Festival Gala director for such a gold-plated opportunity.

After listening to Tian Jinghua's words silently, Nie Wei was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Director Tian, if you can, take him to Huayi Company in the afternoon, and I'll see for myself." ”

Tian Jinghua, who was waiting for a reply over there, was also relieved when he heard Nie Wei's words, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, how about we make an appointment at two o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Yes. ”

Hanging up the phone, Tian Jinghua smiled and said to a man beside him who looked to be thirty or forty years old with long yellow hair: "Xiaobo, Nie Wei has agreed, you can go to Huayi Company with me in the afternoon." ”

"Thank you so much, Director Tian. The middle-aged man named Xiaobo bowed and thanked him, he guided this Tian Jinghua to repay his father's favor, but the other party was willing to remember the favor, which in itself deserved his solemn thanks, not to mention that Tian Jinghua's sincere request just now was in his eyes, and the uncle was really good to him.

Nie Wei spent more than two hours in the morning having a meeting with several musicians from Huayi and made three plans, but they still need to be discussed before they can be decided.

At noon, Nie Wei dealt with a meal directly in the company, and then returned to his office to rest.

It wasn't until two o'clock that Luo Kai came over to wake up Nie Wei and told her that Tian Jinghua had brought someone to the company and was waiting in the conference room.

After ten minutes of washing, Nie Wei changed into a slightly more formal plaid casual suit, and then took Luo Kai to the lounge.

When Nie Wei arrived at the lounge, Tian Jinghua was chatting with Xiaobo without a word, it seemed that he had obviously not just arrived, and on the way to come, Nie Wei also inquired with Luo Kai, and the other party had already come to the company at less than half past one, but because it was not at the appointed time, Luo Kai did not wake up Nie Wei.

Seeing Nie Wei enter the house, Xiaobo, who was drinking coffee, hurriedly put down the coffee cup and bounced up from the seat, while Tian Jinghua on the side looked much calmer.

"Teacher Tian, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Nie Wei took the initiative to reach out and shake Tian Jinghua, and then explained.

"Anyway, we've just arrived. Tian Jinghua said with a smile, Nie Wei's polite apology made the little anger he had accumulated during the waiting period disappear in an instant, and at the same time, he didn't forget to introduce Xiaobo who was a little nervous on the side to Nie Wei: "This is the child I brought, his name is Wu Xiubo." ”

"Hello, Mr. Nie, my name is Wu Xiubo, you can call me Xiaobo. Although Wu Xiubo is almost forty years old, much older than Nie Wei, he is not stupid enough to let Nie Wei call him Brother Bo or something, in this circle, popularity is much more important than generation, not to mention that Nie Wei's identity is not just an artist.

However, Nie Wei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this name, and then looked at Wu Xiubo seriously, and looked at Wu Xiubo a little hairy, and then asked, "Have we met?"

Hearing this, Wu Xiubo was also stunned, then smiled embarrassedly, and replied: "Yes, I have seen it, last time I was at the rehearsal site of the Spring Festival Gala, I was in front of you and Zhang Liangying." ”

This sentence made Nie Wei's somewhat chaotic thoughts smooth out all of a sudden, no wonder I felt familiar the last time I saw him, it turned out that this was not the actor who would be famous for playing an uncle in the future?

It's just that his current style is really not flattering, not to mention the uncle charm when he becomes famous in the future, the current Wu Xiubo is wearing a leather coat and dyed a yellow hair, the most unacceptable thing for Nie Wei is that he also permed his head, and when he entered the door, Nie Wei looked at him for the first time, and thought that he had seen the big Chow Chow that had been standing and walking.

It's no wonder that I didn't recognize him last time in the Spring Festival Gala, this shape really made Nie Wei want to sing a song: "Kill Matt, kill Matt, wash scissors, blow blow..."

And what Nie Wei didn't expect was that this future first-line actor in China still had such a rock and roll black history.

Nie Wei retracted his gaze, smiled, and said to Tian Jinghua on the side: "Teacher, why don't we talk in this conference room, and we don't need any tests, I'll just ask this Mr. Wu Xiubo a few questions." ”

"Of course, of course. Tian Jinghua is really afraid that Nie Wei will test it seriously, after all, he knows best what Wu Xiubo's music level is, compared with ordinary people, Wu Xiubo's music literacy is naturally very good, and can even be called professional, but if you really want to let a music talent like Nie Wei take the test seriously, Tian Jinghua is really worried that Wu Xiubo will not be able to resist.

After all, this kid has talent, but when he was young, he didn't study seriously, among the singers who debuted with his generation, Wu Xiubo's musical literacy and image at the beginning were very prominent, but as a result, those singers at the same time with him were all popular all over the country in the end, and he still sang in bars.

Although Wu Xiubo earns a lot from singing, it is not a good achievement compared to the achievements of those singers.

Fortunately, Wu Xiubo is now middle-aged, and he knows repentance and progress for the sake of his family, but after all, he is still wrong about the most golden ten years, which is also what Tian Jinghua regrets the most.

Then Nie Wei asked Wu Xiubo a few questions in front of Tian Jinghua, covering a lot of music knowledge, but it was a basic question, Tian Jinghua was grateful on the side, understanding that Nie Wei deliberately asked such a 'broad and shallow', in fact, he was selling his own face, otherwise if Nie Wei had the heart to refuse, he would come up with a few difficult questions, I am afraid that he could return the goods directly, and he would not be able to say anything to plead at that time.

Nie Wei asked for ten minutes from beginning to end, and Wu Xiubo answered very fluently, after all, he has a certain degree of musical literacy, and the questions raised by Nie Wei will not stump him.

"Teacher Tian, I think he can, or stay in my company today, it just so happens that I want to practice with Liangying, and let him watch from the sidelines. After Nie Wei finished asking the question, he said directly to Tian Jinghua on the side.

"Of course it's good. Hearing this, Tian Jinghua agreed, and at the same time did not forget to tell Wu Xiubo: "Xiaobo, remember to study hard with Nie Wei, don't look at Nie Wei's age younger than you, but in the music industry, he is more than enough to be your teacher, and you must seize the opportunity to learn from Nie Wei." ”

Nie Wei listened to Tian Jinghua's straightforward sycophant, and he also laughed secretly in his heart, it seems that Wu Xiubo's parents really took care of Tian Jinghua at the beginning, let Tian Jinghua sell him so well, and even willingly patted Nie Wei's sycophant for Wu Xiubo.

However, through this incident, it can be seen that Tian Jinghua is indeed a friend enough, and he can remember his kindness, and it is undoubtedly very correct to be friends with such a person.

Nie Wei asked Luo Kai to greet Wu Xiubo, while he got up and personally sent Tian Jinghua downstairs.

When Nie Wei came back, Wu Xiubo was sitting upright, where he was being questioned by Luo Kai.

"Xiaobo, how old are you this year. ”

"Thirty-nine, where are you, Brother Kai?"

"Uh...... I'm only thirty-eight, don't call me Brother Kai, you're still a year older than me. ”

"No, this age is one year older, but his achievements are more than a step lower than yours, Brother Kai, you are a well-known gold medal agent in the circle, and the No.1 agent in our Chinese film and television industry. ”

"Hahaha, there is nothing. ”

"Ahem. Nie Wei couldn't listen anymore at the door, pushed the door in, and interrupted the conversation between the two.

When the two saw Nie Wei enter the house, they hurriedly got up, but Luo Kai wanted to ask Nie Wei what he needed, and Wu Xiubo on the side reacted purely subconsciously, in his eyes, Nie Wei was now half of his boss.

"Brother Luo Kai, you go and rest, I'll talk to this Mr. Wu Xiubo again. Nie Wei glanced at Luo Kai, and the other party immediately understood and left the conference room.

Wu Xiubo on the side was a little nervous, and he didn't understand what Nie Wei wanted to talk to him.

"Don't be nervous, you sit first. Nie Wei motioned for Wu Xiubo to sit down, and then asked, "Looking at your appearance, you should be playing rock and roll?"

"Yes, I like rock 'n' roll, but I usually sing some folk songs, and you know, the old rock and roll in the cabaret is not enough for the customers. Wu Xiubo replied with a smile.

"Actually, when I met you on Huaxia TV before, I thought you were familiar, have you acted in any play?" Nie Wei continued to ask.

Hearing this, Wu Xiubo was even more embarrassed, and he sighed for a long time before replying: "I've acted a few, but the results are not ideal, and I guess you haven't heard the name." ”

"You are humble, I remember that you starred in a TV series called "Extraordinary Dao", and the starring, screenwriter and even music are not all undertaken by you, and this TV series has achieved good results. Nie Wei casually said Wu Xiubo's proudest masterpiece so far, which also made this man's mouth open in surprise.

He really didn't expect that Nie Wei would know about his TV series, although Nie Wei said that the results of this TV series were good, but Wu Xiubo's family knew his own affairs, and the results of this TV series could only be regarded as ordinary, but it was indeed the best result he could get after entering the showbiz.

Anyway, at this moment, Wu Xiubo couldn't help but feel a little dark in his heart, and at the same time, his favorability towards Nie Wei was also doubled, in his eyes, Nie Wei didn't seem to be so high-minded, and it seemed that he could communicate.

"I can see that you have good qualities between a singer and an actor, but in my opinion, you are actually more suitable to be an actor. Nie Wei didn't go around in circles anymore, and said directly to Wu Xiubo.

After confirming Wu Xiubo's identity, Nie Wei was already thinking about how to receive this 'uncle' into his own company.

You must know that among the actors of Huayi, there are Huang Xiaoming and Cheng Kun in the right year, and the new generation also has Jing Boran , Ma Tianyu and so on, which can be said to be full of talents, but Huayi still lacks a type, that is, an uncle type like Wu Xiubo, who should be an old student in Peking Opera.

Just like Da Qingyi, old students are often indispensable for a TV series, especially the main drama, and before Huayi had Chen Daoming, this is the top old student actor in China, but unfortunately, he was poached.

Since then, Huayi has been lacking in this regard.

But I didn't expect that today there was a future front-line veteran actor who came to Nie Wei by himself, of course Nie Wei wanted to seize this opportunity, then Wu Xiubo, who had gone astray, signed it and let him return to his right path.

"Mr. Nie, I don't understand what you said. Wu Xiubo didn't expect Nie Wei to suddenly say this to him, he was completely confused at the moment, why did he suddenly jump from music to actors.

"There's a reason for that. Nie Wei smiled, organized the language in his heart, and it only took a few seconds to think of a set of words that stood up.

"It's very simple, if you are going on the road of music, the biggest achievement in the future, that is, there is one more singer in our Chinese music circle, I believe you also understand, the singer industry is actually very youthful, because the best time for a person's voice conditions is always before the age of thirty-five, as people are full of aging, the voice conditions will deteriorate a little bit, even if he is a talented person, when he is old, his breath and his voice will also deteriorate. ”

"You may say that I can switch to behind-the-scenes creation, but have you ever thought that the peak period of a singer is basically between the ages of 20 and 30, because this is the most youthful age of a person, and it is also the age when emotions fluctuate the most, and it is also the age when creative passion can be stimulated the most. ”

"And once you pass this age, people's hearts will unconsciously gradually become stable, and the sense of surprise in the songs written will become weaker, at this time the exquisite is the accumulation of a musician's professional quality, of course, your professional knowledge is not bad, but when it comes to what is amazingly prominent, I think you yourself are very clear, so I think your chances of becoming a good actor are far greater than your chances of becoming a great composer. ”
